I think I usually post the story before the fanmix but I'm totes excited for the fanmix
lithiumlaughter's making for me, not to mention all the lovely music coke she's given thus far, and since she's ALSO helping me out with a beta, I thought I'd do an early gift.
01) When I Was a Young Girl ~ Feist
When I was a young girl I used to seek pleasure
When I was a young girl I used to drink ale
Out of the ale house down into the jail house
My body's salvating and hell is my doom
02) This Girl is Taking Bets ~ Thea Gilmore
This girl is a black eye, she's a bruise on your knee
She's the ashes of the people that you really meant to be
This girl's the resurrection, she's the comeback
She's the absinthe in whiskey, she is poetry and Prozac
03) Paranoid Android ~Sia
Please can you stop the noise, I'm trying to get some rest
From all the unborn chicken voices in my head
What's that...? (I may be paranoid, but not an android)
04) Creeper ~ Jackalope
I'm playing you for a fool
You fell for every broken rule
I'm doing what I owe to you
It's been a long time coming
And I'm coming for you
05) Home as a Romanticized Concept Where Everyone Loves You Always and Forever ~ Wood Pidgeon
Can't come home
Even if it's all you want
Can't come home
Even if it's all you've got
Lovers sprain, though one thinks there's no such thing
Can't come home
No one wants you once you've gone
06) Ghost Town ~ Shiny Toy Guns
It's nearly over, the last train is near
And it's leaving behind those tears
These are the bad lands
The worst place to fear
Making place for the ones we left here
They're calling calling
To say goodbye
07) Bad Moon rising ~ Rasputina
Hope you got your things together
Hope you are quite prepared to die
Looks like we'er in for nasty weather
One eye is taken for an eye
08) Comfortably Numb ~ Dar Williams
There is no pain, you are receding.
A distant ship's smoke on the horizon.
You are only coming through in waves.
Your lips move, but I can’t hear what you’re saying.
09) Army of Me ~ Bjork
You're all right
There's nothing wrong
Self-sufficiency please!
And get to work
10) Control ~ Poe
This is beginning to feel good
Watching you squirm in your shoes
A small bead of sweat on your brow
And a growl in your belly your scared to let through
11) Kamikaze ~ PJ Harvey
10,000 willing
Pilots flying
Interfacing
Space and beyond
Built an army
To come and find me
12) Woman King ~ Iron & Wine
Black horse fly, lemonade, jar on the red ant hill
Garden worm, cigarette, ash on the window sill
Hundred years, hundred more, someday we may see a
Woman king, sword in hand, swing at some evil and bleed.
13) One Girl Revolution (Battle Remix) ~ Superchick
And I'll be everything that I want to be
I am confidence in insecurity
I am a voice yet waiting to be heard
I'll shoot the shot, bang, that you hear round the world
And I'm a one girl revolution
